In versions 29.0 and below, the directory traversal fix introduced in commit 2375eb5e0 for `objects/aVideoEncoderReceiveImage.json.php` only checks the URL path component (via `parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH)`) for `..` sequences. However, the downstream function `try_get_contents_from_local()` in `objects/functionsFile.php` uses `explode('/videos/', $url)` on the **full URL string** including the query string. An attacker can place the `/videos/../../` traversal payload in the query string to bypass the security check and read arbitrary files from the server filesystem. Commit bd11c16ec894698e54e2cdae25026c61ad1ed441 contains an updated fix."}], "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Secondary", "cvssData": {"version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N", "baseScore": 6.5, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "userInteraction": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "availabilityImpact": "NONE"}, "exploitabilityScore": 2.8, "impactScore": 3.6}]}, "weaknesses": [{"source": "[email protected]", "type": "Secondary", "description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-22"}]}], "configurations": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:a:wwbn:avideo:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionEndIncluding": "29.0", "matchCriteriaId": "AC38CA07-71C1-4C86-B84A-83CF96367CBA"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/commit/2375eb5e0a6d3cbcfb05377657d0820a7d470b1d", "source": "[email protected]", "tags": ["Patch"]}, {"url": "https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/commit/bd11c16ec894698e54e2cdae25026c61ad1ed441", "source": "[email protected]", "tags": ["Patch"]}, {"url": "https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-f4f9-627c-jh33", "source": "[email protected]", "tags": ["Exploit", "Mitigation", "Vendor Advisory"]}, {"url": "https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-m63r-m9jh-3vc6", "source": "[email protected]", "tags": ["Exploit", "Mitigation", "Vendor Advisory"]}, {"url": "https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/security/advisories/GHSA-m63r-m9jh-3vc6", "source": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "tags": ["Exploit", "Mitigation", "Vendor Advisory"]}]}}
